Very depressing day...

[tadbitconfused]

Moved out of the house of my dreams today. Seems like it was only yesterday we looked at it with hopes of spending retirement days there. Then our stupidity took over and our world crashed...
What hurts is we only moved 3 blocks away... Probably another month or so before they foreclose however decent houses in our little town are hard to find so we move when there is an opportunity.
Must cheer up and start unpacking old memories and crashed dreams. Hopefully to find there will be new memories and better dreams in the year to come... Bankruptcy is still 6-8 months away.. new phone number next week so maybe bill collectors can earn their pay and call old neighbors who were rude anyways

I know how you feel, TBC.

We moved from our "family" home too. We sorted and tossed junk. Put keepsakes and photos in boxes. Packed up important papers.

We have boxes I call "Sad Boxes". They're full of memories from happier times. But it's just too painful to go there to open those boxes and look at things. Hubby says they're really "Happy Boxes" but we just can't see them that way yet.

Maybe someday.

Our most loved home was a rental, oddly. Honestly, wish i was still there at times. Sorry for your loss.

My mom and dad informed me today that they will be filing chapter 7 on the house I grew up in. I am so sad for them they raised 3 children in the house, and built it themselves. I remember being about 5 and watching dad tear down an old garage for some people to use the cinder blocks for the foundation. I wanted to help carry them so I kept loading broken ones on the truck. I caused them more work but they never said so. I know it is the best thing for them to do, but my heart aches at the thought of the mental and emoitional heart ach they are going to go through with packing things up. I wish I could help them, but they live in Indiana and we are in Tennessee and in chapter 13 ourselves, and I don't want to take what little we have saved to spend on the trip. Part of me is glad my last memory in the house will be a happy one of the holiday. I was helping them with expenses but had to quit, partially why we are in a chapter 13 ourselves.

People in Kansas are even worse... In an instant of God's rage, roofs blown off... along with all their pictures, albums, memories, living objects... . now remaining lives left with remnants of loves, memories, wishes, etc... All reduced to dust...

I like the song "Dust in the wind" by ~Kansas~

Hello there,

I can seriously relate to your situation and how you are feeling...

My husband and I just surrenered home in BK.... It was so sad and hard . we moved from a cute little house into a totally diffrent neighborhood and we are in a 2 bdrm apartment. the apartment is ok,but it is not the hosue i once had.

Good thing is, it will get easier.. i never thought it would and its been a month since i have been out of my house and It is getting a bit easier everyday!

Hang in there and remember... everything happens for a reason!

Take care,
amc25

I've been there myself. We built the house of our dreams and I never dreamed we would ever leave it, but a couple of years later we did. Its mostly due to that house that we had to end up filing bk. We live in a much smaller rental house in a different state now (where housing and the cost of living in general is less). Its been right at 3 years now, it does get better, life does go on!
